I was wondering if any of the other people on this forum were aware of any good literature on lung fish. I have searched and found mostly research papers pretaining to wild distribution , species enviormental impact , and taxonomy. I am perhaps not that good of a researcher , it took me months to find this place, but I have gone as far as a university library and a few of the journals (journal of morphology, ect.) I find very little about their behavior , breeding habits , sensory adaptations. This seems like the type of situation were amature keepers could make a considerable contribution to the body of information that exsists with these species as far as some basic behavior and habits are concerned. I know reptile keepers have made significant contributions to the general knowledge of herps in the hobby, even into the way their genetics work. I am constantly in awe of the living fossil in my home and want to know as much as I can about it. I hope to find others with a similar type interest.
 
yes it's hard to get some in depth info on lungfish....you can find some basic info on this forum. but some how 99 out of 100 post here are about tankmates, id, size of the tank and food. (all the info you need to keep jour lungfish happy and healthy)
